Whether you’re looking for a quick pampering or a full day of rest and relaxation, you’ll find dozens of locally and foreign owned spa facilities in Cebu City. Since the boom of tourism in the city due to the increase in demand for English as a Second language schools for nationals in neighboring asian countries, Cebu has been a haven of recreational spots. With this came the sprouting of spas and resorts in the metro and we have listed 10 of the most sought after spa facilities.
No. 1 – Thai Boran
A place for personal healing of the mind and body that’s not heavy on the pocket.
Thai Boran is a budget-friendly spa that offers a combination of body massages.

The spa is right beside Alberto’s Pizza in Escario St. They sometimes tend to get busy so it’s advisable to call in for reservation to avoid wait time. Also, when they offer the foot wash before you start your massage, ask the therapist to make sure that the water temperature isn’t too hot. Although the spa leaves something to be wanted, you’ll definitely get your money’s worth!
- Pros:Budget friendly; accessible in the metro; has parking space for customers

Although the best Nuat Thai masseuse is in their Talisay City South Town Center branch, which is about an hour away from the metro, there are also good therapists across Midtown and Uptown Cebu.
